There was an incredible samba band called Pe De Boi that Ben watched playing all over NYC in the 1980’s. They wore bright blue coveralls and always brought an amazing party. Cyro and Billy were both integral members of this band led by the late great Guilherme Franco. Ben met Billy sometime in the late 80’s sharing the stage in double bills with Medeski Martin and Wood. Cyro and Ben performed and recorded with John Zorn, Joseph Arthur and most recently Jamie Saft’s New Zion Trio.
